Photo Reveals How Former Mexican President Fox Really Feels About Trump

A photo of former Mexican President Vicente Fox giving presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump the finger is garnering attention. The image was tweeted Monday by KickAss Politics and shows Fox with Ben Mathis, host of the KickAss podcast.

Breitbart News reported that the photo was taken during an interview with Mathis last Tuesday, a day before Fox apologized to Trump for the foul language he had used to describe him.

According to the Huffington Post, during that interview, Fox repeated a defiant proclamation about Trump’s border wall proposal that he first made in February. “I’m not going to pay for that f—ing wall,” Fox told Mathis. “And please don’t take out the ‘f—ing’ full word.”

Fox apologized to Trump the next day in a Breitbart interview. “If I offended you, I’m sorry, but what about the other way around?” he said.

He later added on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, “I think it’s very important to invite Donald Trump to come to Mexico and to learn about the real Mexico.”

As reported by Western Journalism, Fox made headlines in February, when he first pledged that Mexico would not pay for the “f—ing wall.” He went on to call the real estate tycoon “ignorant,” “crazy,” “egocentric” and “nasty.”

Trump accepted the apology, telling a crowd at West Virginia rally Thursday night: “Vicente Fox was on television last night and he apologized and I accept his apology. I thought it was very, very nice, because I was giving him a little hard time about something and he apologized.”

The next day, Fox was back to attacking Trump in a series of tweets regarding the billionaire making his wares overseas, including in Mexico.

As reported by Western Journalism, Fox met with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in Mexico on Sunday to plot ways to defeat the presumptive GOP nominee. He promised to do all he can to maximize sentiment against Trump in the Mexican-American community and mobilize them to get to the polls in November.
